New tools to put Open Access into Interlibrary Loan from the Open Access Button

„Libraries have led
the charge to open up access to the scholarly literature. […] We’re now
happy to introduce you to some new tools from the Open Access Button:

DeliverOA: Making it easy to find self-archived Open Access versions of articles and deliver them right inside your ILL workflow.

OAsheet:
Find out if lots of articles are Open Access all at once by giving us a
list of articles as a spreadsheet. Perfect for running ILL records to
see how much impact integrating OA into your processes could have.

Along with these new
tools you can use today, we’d like like to preview what might come next
in our work with libraries. Currently codenamed GetPDF and InstantILL,
these are new tools we’ve prototyped, mocked up, and are exploring to
tackle problems we heard libraries and patrons across the globe say they
are struggling with. Here’s a bit more about them:

GetPDF:
A browser plugin to ensure libraries can provide excellent access for
their patrons anyplace, anytime, in just a click with or without
subscriptions. It’ll do that by combining content from ILL, Open Access,
pay-per-view, and subscriptions into one simple tool for users so they
always have the easiest, fastest, cheapest legal option at their
fingertips.

InstantILL:
An ILL form that delivers content to patrons instantly without them
needing to fill out a form, and that empowers staff to process requests
instantly.
